  I don’t understand how you fail to realize that if Trump can do it, a fucking potato could do it…

    Exactly. The role of the president is defined by the president. They have a cabinet for a reason; they don’t need to be experts in everything.

    Presidents entering office with celebrity status have proven extraordinarily capable of pushing their agendas. The problem isn’t “celebrity”. The problem is that their agendas have sucked. Stewart’s agenda doesn’t suck.

    but if a fucking potato can do it… imagine what an educated person with a good track record and a career of helping could do… why do you still want a potato?

      Stewart is far from a potato. Sure, I’d much rather have a seasoned politician like Bernie or someone even further left, but I wouldn’t scoff at John Stewart.

        All I said was a potato would be better than Trump, not an ideal choice. Stewart is far from a potato, too, so I don’t know what kind of weird point you’re trying to make.

        As clear as possible: the USA could have a MUCH better POTUS than Stewart (actually he said so himself in this very vid)… perhaps, step 1 is to stop looking at celebrities

        Sure, I’d much rather have a seasoned politician like Bernie or someone even further left, but I wouldn’t scoff at John Stewart.

        Then go a support Bernie and stop wasting time with Stewart who is not running

  You don’t have to agree with our opinions on why we think he would be good, just don’t accuse us of things we’re not doing
